Verse 1 I ain’t the person I’m supposed to be he said to all of his friends It wasn’t that I wasn’t born like me it’s just that’s where similarity ends And he took on a different style of life he thought required for The new identity he made disregarding all that went before
Verse 2 So he packed his bags and went where dreams made up the air So he could breathe the thoughts that he could never share And it makes me wish that you were still here with me But I know that this is where you should be
Chorus Won’t you tell California I got more time on my hands Won’t you leave a little stardust to make me feel at home Take a little inside out to the cold with me So when I step outside it’s warm Leave a little of you here till I’m old with me You’re face’ll never change from the picture on my soul You’re face’ll never change from the picture on my soul
Verse 2 And he slowly faded out of sight and out of mind Leaving friends imagining alone what he would find And this is my way of saying that it’s all alright Cos I know that I won’t see you for a long long while
Chorus Won’t you tell California I got more time on my hands Won’t you leave a little stardust to make me feel at home Take a little inside out to the cold with me So when I step outside it’s warm Leave a little of you here till I’m old with me You’re face’ll never change from the picture on my soul You’re face’ll never change from the picture on my soul
